I like the wire up close with the blurring of the barn and stuff, with this camera its tough to set the camera as there is no f stop control, but I'm learning to use the macro and use the zoom to force a stonger effect with the camera.

Sunday Stills Pick a day in the upcoming week and take your camera with you, no archives. Take and post no more than 4 pics during the day that show how you spend the day. For some this will be a breeze and for others you may have to go out and do something. Just remember no more than 4 pics and no archives..:-))

All my days start with coffee, I like a little milk in mine. About 9 is morning for me as I work late.

Then I feed the horses their hay and get eggs from our six hens I call the Road Crew. Today was worming day for the horses, and a carrot to wash it down.

Then a little time on the computer, playing on the blogs, putting on some pics, with Hubby gone so much we talk lots on the phone. Don't laugh at my monitor, its 9 years old and works beautifully.

My wage job is the evening from about 6 to midnight or 1:00.I get to be a janitor, this is my cart and mop bucket.

This was Dolly a couple weeks after I got her a year an a half ago,Notice the lovely scar on her face, read about thathere .

Today was a beautiful spring day, I decided to work with Dolly. I have done lots of round penning, ground work and have ridden her twice, other than humping around the pen a few times she has never bucked or been silly with me.Our last ride was a couple weeks ago and lately the weather has been uncooperative, today was perfect see that beautiful sky?

She looks good in hubbys saddle, I used it today because it is heavy, good for her to accept the feel.

She is so kind and easy to start, and smoooooth to ride, very sensitive, she is very responsive, stops when I sink my weight and turns when I lean and pick up the slack, she is going to be nice in the bridle.I cant get pics of myself riding..... maybe next time.

I liked this version, the color us very warm almost sepia, the only editing I did was to crop,

This is more natural color.

This little sculpture is formed out of enameled metal, hand crafted, soldered and colored, the whole thing is about 6 inches tall, if I recall this is a Gentian flower. It was given to me by an internet friend Joey Bonhage of New Orleans, he specialized in botanical reproductions, ran a gallery and studio in the Bourbon District. Joey survived Hurricane Katrina, but has since passed from emphysema, he was a special fellow, I treasure this little thing.
